Oh, I've been in their shoes when both my grandmothers passed away and also my MIL....also my first DH passed away when DD was almost 5 yrs old.
I've just never been in this particular predicament before. If my SIL & I were even a little bit close, I wouldn't even question going.

I sure hope you're right!
The family is having a difficult time finding a place in town to hold the wake and viewing before the day of the funeral. We only have one funeral home in town and her last wish was to NOT be sent there. So, an out of town funeral home is taking care of all the legal stuff. BIL's family requested to use the church for viewing, the wake & the funeral. Of course they said yes to the funeral mass but no to everything else.
BIL's brother is in Eqypt and his sister is out of state.....both on business. They are both trying to get back. Looks like viewing or the wake will not happen before next Wednesday.
